07/16/18

Good Evening, I’m running short of time tonight so I’ll get right to the point. The market came in mixed with the Dow showing a gain on the day and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finishing in the red. It was a day when a glance at the major indices would be misleading due to the fact that the major indices were propped up by the financial sector and a few stodgy large cap stocks. Overall breath was not good with declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 2.05-to-1 ratio; on the Nasdaq, a 1.55-to-1 ratio favored decliners. For the most part though, traders were apprehensive to make trades ahead of the Fed meeting which concludes on Wednesday. A little good news from Jerome Powell along with some good earnings could pick things back up. We will see…..

The days trading left us with the following signals: Our TSP allotment dropped -0.49%. For comparison the Dow gained +0.18%, the Nasdaq lost -0.26%, and the S&P 500 slipped -0.10%.

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Buy, S-Buy, I-Neutral, F-Buy. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now +8.24% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

    Good morning, I’ll keep this brief because I’m on the road again. This market is volatile! I don’t care what the so called experts say. I don’t care what the VIX is. I don’t care whether folks are making money or losing money. It is one of the most volatile and fluid markets I have…

    Good Day, It’s time to adjust our mix. The new mix is 100/S. Please remember that this is the percentage of money that we have invested in each fund, not the money that is taken from your check and deposited into thrift. Those future contributions should always be 100% G Fund. That automatically protects your deposit in the event that it…
